Today I took a trip over to the F.I.T Museum to see the exhibit entitled: Seduction. The exhibit is a very interesting collection of dresses to say the least. The title Seduction is an appropriate title seeing as the entire collection showcased the way in which women expressed their sexuality through their clothing throughout history. It actually starts off with some very revealing pieces as an introduction to the exhibit.
When you really get into the exhibit you go on a journey through time where you not only see beautiful gowns but you get the history of the gown that you are viewing and of the time period in which the gown was designed. So you really get a sense of the world and how fashion was affected by it throughout time. It has been long believed that fashion interprets what is going on in the world, I like to think on a broader scale, fashion along with other forms of art are imitations of life. Every season editors look to collections to see how the designer has interpreted and portrayed the current events through the clothes. I advise everyone that is able to get to this exhibit to make a stop by and check out the exhibit.
How can one say no to a woman dressed this well?
